If you need to tell options to remote servers then you can write the handler that returns them. Most applications don't need this since they run rails, and usually the web app would have a different interpretation for each option they wanted.
Otherwise, I suggest telling your front server to quit asking that. It's dubious feature at best which doesn't do anything for a proxy server situation.
